A judge who admitted to having a sexual affair with a social worker who worked in a special drug court overseen by the judge is trying to keep his job, but the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court may decide differently.
The judge's affair included acts that took place in the courthouse.
The suspended payroll chief of the Massachusetts State Police applied for state pension benefits four days before an application for a criminal complaint for larceny was filed against her.
Denise Ezekiel, 49, of Holbrook, was suspended November 1, 2017, the same day a State Police major was assigned to investigate her. State Police say she filed for 29 fraudulent reimbursements totaling almost $24,000 over 15 months.
